1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose (Levoglucosan)

Original price was: $795.00.Current price is: $395.00.

Catalog Number: B2027285 (1 g)
Levoglucosan (1,6-Anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose) is a naturally occurring bicyclic anhydrosugar monomer produced primarily through the thermolysis and pyrolysis of cellulose and starch. It serves as a key metabolic intermediate and building block chemical for the catalytic and biotechnological synthesis of glucose, chiral polymers, and high-value bio-based products. High-purity levoglucosan is widely utilized in atmospheric chemistry as an unequivocal biomass burning tracer and as a valuable substrate in biochemical research. Custom bulk amounts of this product are available upon request.
